Hello Outposters, I have a trailer for you. It’s an animation, it’s a comedy, and it’s called, umm, Lesbian Space Princess. Come on, open minds, everyone, open minds.
OK, you can close your minds again now. I know you’ll all be wanting to read more about this movie, the cast, story, and most importantly, when and where you can see it.
Lesbian Space Princess stars Shabana Azeez, Bernie Van Tiel, Jordan Raskopoulos, Madeleine Sami, Zachary Ruane, and Broden Kelly. Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese are the writers and directors. The story is:
A space princess is thrust out of her sheltered life and into a galactic quest to save her bounty hunter ex-girlfriend from the Straight White Maliens.
The rest is from the press release. A laugh-out-loud adventure through the far reaches of queer outer space, Lesbian Space Princess showcases the incredible talents of South Australian writers/ directors, Leela Varghese and Emma Hough Hobbs.
Daughter to the flamboyant lesbian Queens of Planet Clitopolis, introverted Princess Saira is devastated when her bounty-hunter girlfriend, Kiki, suddenly breaks up with her for being too needy.
Straight White Maliens
After Kiki is kidnapped by forgotten incels of the future, the Straight White Maliens, Saira must leave the comforts of gay space to deliver their ransom: her royal labrys (the most powerful weapon known to lesbian kind). Only problem is… she doesn’t have it!
With just a 24-hour window to get her labrys and save Kiki, Princess Saira finds herself on an inter-gay-lactic journey of self-discovery. That includes encounters with a problematic spaceship and a new-found friendship with gay-pop runaway Willow.
An animated comedy like no other, Lesbian Space Princess is a riotous, candy-coloured joy from start to finish. An animation by emerging creatives that embraces LGBTQIA+ and culturally diverse voices, on and off-screen.
Lesbian Space Princess will be in UK cinemas from the 22nd of May. Now, over to you Outposters, what do you think?
